She doesn't like Canada being progressive??? --ArtSky-div'ing (ski'div'ing) n.

IanHarrop 42 #3 December 7, 2004 Ah this has been going on for years.Back in 1973 I was living in France and an American friend of mine gave me a small brass maple leaf pin. Said she'd got it in her mail that had been sent over from the states with a letter reading "come north to Canada, avoid the draft". She said she wore in her travels to reduce the grief she got as an American. I still have the pin. Hope I never loose it. She was VERY good looking! At the risk of this post getting moved to SC.... I think Americans have always, secretly wanted to be Canadian.

craichead 0 #5 December 7, 2004 QuoteI don't think that I could pull this off with my southern accent, Ah, if you hang around a Canadian long enough, you'll start to sound like one. I was raised in Tennessee, and I married a Canadian. AndyMan and I have been together for a little over two years, and the other day, the HR Assistant at my work said "Sheesh, you married one, and now you sound like one!" Then again, I tend to pick up whatever accent is around me at the time. AndyMan does the same thing and occasionally let's loose a midwestern accent! _Pm__ "Scared of love, love and aeroplanes...falling out, I said takes no brains." -- Andy Partridge (XTC) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theskydiveguy 0 #8 December 7, 2004 It's a true story eh ;) I was on the train in the Neatherlands a couple of years ago and I saw two women with the good ol' maple leaf sewn to their backpacks and like any other Tim-Hortons-like-commerical (Canadians will understand that one) guy went over to speak to them. As I drew nearer I could hear their very distinct New York accent! I asked where they were from and they replied NYC!!!! I asked why they had Canadian flags on their backpacks and they told me that since they had sewn them on people were nicer to them! ~Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marz 0 #12 December 8, 2004 I was backpacking across Australia a few years ago and something struck me - Canadians are the only people that feel the need to sew a big ass flag on their back packs!!!!! It's actually a running joke in some hostels down there. I guess we have an identity crisis. Long story short- The flag dissapeared from my backpack because I didn't wan't to stick out in a crowd.
